About MUSIC FRIDAY

MUSIC FRIDAY is where we listen to music, interview bands and get ready for the weekend. What music and what artists are on Music Friday? We love all kinds of music - rock, folk, pop, hip-hop, country western, Americana, indie - you name it. In fact, you do name it because the Music Friday Nation picks the bands. You tell us who you would like to hear and talk with and we try to get them here for you. They can be really well-known or just emerging with their first EP or album.

Hi there!
We’re Steve and Dianne Moore, aka The Cranberry Merchants. We’ve got a tune for you that’s kind of weird in terms of subject matter, but in a fun way. After watching a documentary about Thomas Edison, we took an interest in the world’s first movie studio of his creation, The Black Maria. All the coolest acts of the day (and we’re talking the 1890’s here) performed there. At the time, we happened to be working on a very industrial-sounding piece of music that sounded like an old steam engine, and fit the context of that Edison mindset. So we threw it all together into the rock & roll machine and here’s what came out! (We even made a video.) Please give it a spin… would love your feedback. Enjoy!

I have been playing as a drummer in rock bands for a big part of my life.

After the splitting up of my most recent band in 2012, I went on a small tour through the USA as a stand-in drummer in a blues-rock band. During this trip I decided I was going to write my own material and see where this could lead to…

The learning curve was pretty steep, I must say. Besides learning how to play a bit of decent guitar and keyboards, I also had to cope with my vocals. Perhaps my greatest challenge was to find my singing voice :)…

However, my hard work paid off and I am very proud to have finished my first solo CD “3Ft No Diving”, which is already available in a number of web shops via CDbaby.

You can listen to the tracks at WWW.MAKSAGENCY.COM

If you would like to receive a CD by mail or the digital tracks by Wetransfer, feel free to let me know.

I am quite sure that you receive loads of mail in any form and shape, but I would really appreciate it, if you could find the time to listen to the CD and let me know what you think of it.
